3. Which of the following statements correctly describes binary
fission?
A. It grows from a part of an organism.

B. Roots D. Tuber
5. The table below shows organisms and some data on their
characteristics. Based on the information in the table, which organism
is likely to produce offspring that are all genetically uniform?
13. A farmer wants to propagate a good variety of a crop in a way
which maintained all its desirable traits. Which of the following
methods should be used?
A. Self-pollination
B. Vegetative propagation
C. Growing seeds produced from this variety
D. Cross-pollinating this crop with another good variety and growing
the seeds resulting from the cross
14. Vegetative propagation is one type of asexual reproduction.
Which of the following are advantages of vegetative propagation?
I. All plants are resistant to some diseases.
II. Plants reach maturity faster than ones grown in seeds.
III. If unfavorable condition occurs, the whole population will be
wiped out.
IV. Same good agricultural traits such as taste and yields will be
maintained.
A. I, II and III only C. II, III and IV only
B. I, II and IV only D. I, II, III and IV
15. Ana’s father, a farmer grew only one type of onion. She told her
father that all the onion plants will die from the same disease. Do you
think Ana is correct?
A. Yes, because the onion plants were genetically identical.
B. No, because only a few plants were resistant to the disease.
C. Yes, because all of the onion plants were resistant to the disease.
D. No, because the onion plants were genetically different from each
other.

8. Which species can produce offspring that are genetically different
that reproduce through budding. He answered hydra and yeast. Do
from their parents?
you think his answer is correct?
A. A species that has few variations
A. Yes, because both do not grow from seeds.
B. A species that reproduces sexually
B. No, because yeast reproduce through spore formation.
C. A species that reproduces asexually
C. Yes, because both formed as an outgrowth of the parent.
D. A species that competes with a similar species
D. No, because hydra reproduce through vegetative propagation.

B. Filament D. Stigma
10.Which of the following statement/s differentiate/s asexual from
sexual reproduction?
I. In sexual reproduction, two parent cells are needed to produce new
individual.
II. In asexual reproduction, only one parent cell is needed to produce
new individual.
III. In sexual reproduction, only one parent cell involved, while in
asexual
reproduction, two parent cells are involved.
A. I and II C. I and III
B. II and III D. III only

11.Alexander plants a group of seeds that all came from the same
plants. When seeds grow and bloom, the resulting flowers are
different sizes and colors. What can Alexander conclude from his
experiment?
A. Alexander used soil that had other seeds in it.
B. The species of plants must reproduce sexually.
C. The species of plants must reproduce asexually.
D. The flowers changed colors because of its environment.

12. Flowers are the reproductive organs of plants. How will you
differentiate flowers from the reproductive organs of animals?

organs of animals.

13. Jhen was asked by her science teacher to give an example of an

organism that can reproduce sexually. She answered yeast. Is Jhen
correct about her answer?
A. No, because yeast needs one parent cell to reproduce.
B. Yes, because yeast needs one parent cell to reproduce.
C. No, because yeast needs two parent cells to reproduce.

parent while asexual reproduction produces offspring that are not
identical to the parent.
C. Asexual reproduction happens only in plants while sexual
reproduction happens only in humans.
D. Sexual reproduction requires two parent cells to form an offspring
while asexual reproduction needs only one parent cell to produce
offspring.
